Possible way to cope with my GAD

[IWantToSleep]

Not caring about society's expectations or what others think of me, just doing what I enjoy as opposed to mindlessly browsing the web and watching videos I don't care about, and if I become successful by society's standards then great, but I can just distract myself for the time being before ctb or possibly curing myself. Not a particularly interesting post but I thought I'd share my thoughts, as I was going through debilitating anxiety for a long time now and I hope this helps me, just not giving a fuck might be the right attitude, although it's rather difficult for me to believe I'll be able to have this attitude for very long given that I've been suffering from this for years.

GAD-"expert" here ("expert" as in long time sufferer).

I agree with you. I try to let go of everything, except the few things that gives me a little joy. I try not to care about anything or anyone that increases my anxiety. I'll be dead one day and none of it will matter, so why let it affect me so much now?

Many gentle hugs to you

It's pretty important to be able to decide what's "worth" worrying about. I agree that society's expectations, what others think of you…generally isn't worth it. Recognizing that and taking your attention away from it can greatly reduce anxiety, I think you're on the right track.

And don't worry about whether your post is "interesting" or not. Gotta get your thoughts out somewhere, and GAD is something that many others can relate to and understand. It's a bitch to deal with.
